Loved the video Twin! 🥰 To be honest, i dont really have a skincare routine. I just wash my face with soap and water and then moisturise. Plus, i also have a bad habit of picking my face but i dont it has much anymore. I really need to get myself one of those cleansing brushes. Love watching all your videos Twin 💜
I also struggle with picking at my face, and it just makes my heart drop every time I see scars on my face. SO it’s so calming to see someone who also struggled with that but is still so beautiful.
I always get so dang excited seeing other Australian creators bc I will actually be able to find the things you recommend!!! Keen to check out the Gua Sha! Thanks for the recommendation :)
I discovered that Roman chamomile essential oil shrinks pores (temporarily), but you have to dilute it with a base oil (e.g. jojoba). German chamomile is actually better for skin (more benefits), but smells quite different (Roman chamomile is sweeter and "flowery", German chamomile is sharper, "greener", more herbal). Peppermint essential oil also tightens pores, but I wouldn't recommend it to everyone since it sensitizes skin. (Maybe not so much if it's very diluted.) You might have heard that jojoba is also a preservative that preserves whatever it's been mixed with, as long as you use about a third of jojoba oil in the mixture. Sun damage and/or inadequate moisturizing can cause enlarged pores. Our pores also tend to enlarge as we get older, especially if we do not moisturize enough. When I began to keep my nose moisturized all the time, and also to regularly use something that constricts the pores, the pores on my nose became less noticeable, and oil production gradually slowed down ("normalized"). The sun hat would probably help a lot, except maybe for the chin/jaw area. That's one of the areas where I got fine lines first (before I got eczema which permanently thickened skin. I actually suspect that pimples might also have a permanently thickening effect (at least for a while) -- my feeling is that it kind of "spot-welds" the skin, postponing signs of aging for a while -- as long as you are careful about other things such as avoiding too much stress and crash dieting or starvation (the skin is where the body goes first for emergency fuel, I've read). I don't use a sun hat myself, instead I use a hand-held screen that doesn't let any light through, and which I can position so that no matter how I move, my entire face is always shaded (and of course also my eyes, which are very sensitive to light). I've stopped using sunscreen long ago because it works so well. It's not as elegant as a sun hat though!
Stinging nettle (consumed as a supplement, tea or vegetable) also constricts pores and helps them to expel hardened sebum (blackhead plugs). In addition it is rich in essential nutrients and very healthy (a "tonic").
Hi ! The idea is to meet people and customs around the world, learn more accents in English...and meet beautiful girls like you...congratulations on the videos! Merry Xmas from Brazil !
